In both cases, that doesn't count NCAA BB credits, and for the AAC, it doesn't count bowl revenue.

The Bottomline:
AAC schools are responsible for on-campus production costs, which some estimate could lower their net annual take by as much as $2 million... So AAC schools will only see 5M... Big East pays 4M... For a school who is losing a ton of money via travel cost....going to the BIG East and then placing their football program at the Indy or FCS level makes way more $$ense than staying with the AAC and losing as much as 40M a year.... Just saying!!!
